Very true. While browsing some Sun marketing stuff at the LONI conference, i saw that several SunFire servers are certified by Microsoft to run Win2k/2k3. Goto http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/search.mspx , search for Sun under System/Server Multiprocessor. Sun does claim that they neither sell nor support MS operating systems, but i guess it's just a matter of time. So sad... I did pick up a cool Sun hat at the conference, which i must say, isn't as cool anymore. ray
